JAMIA has rapidly established a reputation for presenting high-quality, cutting-edge information. Each issue contains state-of-the-art reviews, discussion forums, and invited editorials presented as brief reviews or full-length papers. A variety of formats accommodates work at all stages, from model formulation through definitive studies. The Journal is indexed in Index Medicus, MEDLINE, EMBASE/Excerpta Medica, CINAHL, Science Citation Index, Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), SciSearch, Social SciSearch, Research Alert, Current Contents/Social & Behavioral Sciences, and Current Contents/Clinical Medicine Instructions to Authors JAMIA Instructions for Authors are also available as a PDF. Click here for a PDF of the Special Guidelines. These guidelines are in accordance with the "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals". (The complete document appears in The New England Journal of Medicine 1997;336:309-16.) SCOPE OF ARTICLES The Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association (JAMIA) will consider the publication of any original manuscript that deals with the broad field of medical informatics. ORIGINALITY OF MANUSCRIPTS Manuscripts will be reviewed for possible publication with the understanding that they have not been published, simultaneously submitted, or already accepted for publication elsewhere. Authors should not submit material that substantively duplicates content (paragraphs, figures, and/or tables) previously published or in press. For the purpose of this policy, any form of mass distribution, including general availability through a web server, is considered to be publication. This policy does not preclude consideration of a much more complete report that follows publication of preliminary findings elsewhere, usually in the proceedings of a conference. Copies of any possibly duplicative material must be included with the manuscript at the time of its initial submission to JAMIA. Questions about specific special cases may be directed to the Editor. To ensure that this policy is adhered to, each author will be required to submit a "Documentation of Originality for Submitted JAMIA Manuscript" form signed by the corresponding author before a manuscript will be processed. Forms may be obtained on the JAMIA website, www.jamia.org, or by e-mailing the editorial office. Authors may fax signed originality forms to the JAMIA editorial office at (615) 936-1427. The corresponding author will be responsible for obtaining signed originality forms from all other authors of the manuscript if the manuscript is accepted for publication. Authors should disclose to the editors any financial or commercial interest that they have in products discussed in their manuscript at the time that it is submitted. Information about such interests will not be released to reviewers or influence the editorial decision, but a mechanism will be found to disclose the interest to the reader if the paper is published. Back to top MAJOR SECTIONS We have found it helpful to report different types of work in different formats. This approach permits a rigorous review process based on detailed review criteria. At the same time, it allows publication of many different types of work that co-exist in an interdisciplinary field, since each may have its own criteria. Each reference in this section is an example of one of the types of paper that JAMIA considers for publication. The references have been published in prior issues of JAMIA. For section-specific guidlines, click here. Back to top The Practice of Informatics The Practice of Informatics section is targeted on the needs of people in the biomedical and health professions who use informatics in their work. Papers that further the development of medical informatics as a field are given priority. Examples include career development, formulation of policy or consensus, and development of novel methods or technologies. Back to top Review Papers (see guidelines) (1) present and interpret the state of the art. Over time, these works should serve as a multi-authored text on the practice of medical informatics. Synthesis of Research Papers (2) review and interpret the work of an investigator or laboratory. They place work that has been reported over time into a broader context. Brief Reviews (see guidelines) (3) present a short overview or update on a hot topic. Position Papers (4) recommend a specific course of action. They should promote discussion of policy questions or potential initiatives. White Papers (5) present a consensus regarding techniques or approaches that will improve the productivity of the field. They should provide a road map for learners, practitioners, and researchers alike. Forum Papers (6) point out differences in approach or opinion. They should make the choices clear in situations where there may be more than one right answer. Viewpoint Papers (see guidelines) (7) present an author's perspective about a topic to provoke thought. The opinions must be tenable, but scientific proof of their validity is not required. Papers on Careers in Medical Informatics (8) provide insight into curriculum requirements, training requirements, and career alternatives. The Practice of Informatics section also includes papers on the use of information technology in real-world settings. A Technical Milestone (9) provides a detailed description of the development of an innovative technology or information resource. It provides an archival foundation for reports of the application or evaluation of the technology. A Technology Evaluation Paper (10) reviews the basis of a new technology together with qualitative or quantitative assessment of its effectiveness, shortcomings, and cost. Full-length papers on the Application of Information Technology (see guidelines) (11) show how to solve practical problems relevant to health care research, health education, or health care delivery. Although these papers are not research papers, some aspect of the application must be original and the report must emphasize generalizable concepts gleaned from specific experiences. An Implementation Brief (see guidelines) (12) is a case report of an innovative implementation strategy or application. Such a report should document the methods employed and the application's usefulness as measured by the number of users, time saved, cost, or other relevant parameters. A short Technical Brief (see guidelines) (13) provides a description of a method or a helpful hint. These papers should give tips and tricks of the trade that others can incorporate into their tool kits. Book Reviews (see guidelines) (14) and Software Reviews (15) alert readers to new releases and comment on their utility. Original Investigations The Original Investigations section presents original hypotheses and findings. Research Papers (see guidelines) should provide an archive of the development of knowledge in the field of medical informatics. A wide range of types of reports is appropriate. The papers may report the formal evaluation of a technique. (16) The work may be a report of an approach together with preliminary findings (17) or a summarization of decades of work with evaluation of the most recent step. (18) Qualitative studies are suitable for full-length research papers if an appropriate methodology such as analysis of a case is used. (19) As stated earlier, manuscripts will not be published if they have been paritally or wholly published, or are to be published, elsewhere. This does not preclude publication of material that has been published in preliminary form in the proceedings of a conference, provided the manuscript includes significant new material and the prior publication is submitted as documentation to JAMIA. The expansion can involve the addition of background material (20) or additional results. (21) Preliminary work may be reported in a variety of ways. A Model Formulation (see guidelines) (22) paper proposes a model or technique. A Methods Paper (23) proposes methods for a research project. A Case Report (see guidelines) (24) explores a method or problem through an example. Special Sections (Focus papers) (see guidelines) A Special Section of an issue of the Journal can be devoted to a coordinated set of manuscripts that focus attention on an important topic. (25) Depending on the length of the manuscripts, such sections would be restricted to five to seven papers to permit inclusion of some of the Journal's normal content. Editorial Comments (see guidelines) places a paper in context (26) or presents a balancing view. (27) Editorials are also used as a vehicle for bringing attention to an issue that is important in the field. (28) Letters to the Editor provide another forum for this type of information. Back to top E-letters E-letters allow readers viewing a particular article to provide commentary online. After reading a given article, a reader can click "Send a response" from a link in the content box. This brings up a screen for the viewer's name, affiliation, e-mail address, and comments. A member of the editorial team reviews submitted e-letters online at a private location and decides whether to publish them. The published letters appear at the ends of the articles to which they relate. All e-letters relate to an original article; there are no "general" comments. (This feature is not the same as the traditional letters to the editor, described above, that appear in the print journal. E-letters appear online only.) Back to top PREPARATION OF MANUSCRIPTS  All submissions to JAMIA are in electronic format (see details below). Back to top General Layout Set the format for the word processor as follows: Margins 1 inch all around Left justify only Double spacing Twelve-point Times New Roman font (preferred) The header should include: Last name of first author Short running title of 40 characters and spaces or less The phrase "Page x of y pages," where x is the page number and y is the total number of pages. Insert a page break between each of the following sections: title page, abstract, text, acknowledgments, references, individual tables, and legends. Title Page The title page includes the title of the paper; the first name, middle initial, and last name and the academic degree(s) attained by each author (do not include bachelor degrees or fellowships); the name of the department(s) and institution(s) where the work was done; the name and address of the author to whom reprint requests should be addressed; the name, address, and telephone number of one author who is responsible for all communication concerning the manuscript (include a fax number and e-mail address when available). Abstract Abstracts for research papers and model formulation papers are limited to 250 words and should be structured as follows: Objective, Design, Measurements, Results, and Conclusion. Abstracts for all other types of papers should be unstructured and limited to 150 words. An abstract should be factual, not descriptive. Below the abstract, provide and identify as such three to ten key words or short phrases that will assist indexers. Terms from the Medical Subject Headings list of Index Medicus are preferred. Text The text of observational and experimental articles should be divided into sections with headings such as Introduction, Background, Methods, Results, Discussion, and Conclusion. Long articles may need subheadings within some sections to clarify their content. Other types of articles, such as case reports, reviews, and editorials, may use other headings. Detailed guidelines by type of paper can be found here. Major sections, and up to two levels of subsections, should be numbered for easy reference by reviewers, as follows: I. SECTION A. First level Subsection 1) Second level Subsection All references in the text to a section should be to the section, title because the section numbers will not be included in the published version. Acknowledgments Following the text, one or more statements should specify 1) contributions that need acknowledging but do not justify authorship; 2) acknowledgments of grant or other financial and material support, specifying the nature of the support; 3) acknowledgments of meetings at which the paper has been presented; and 4) financial or commercial relationships that may pose a conflict of interest. References References should be double-spaced in the order in which they are cited in the manuscript. All references must be cited in the text, tables, or figure legends. The style of references is the Vancouver style as used by Index Medicus. List all authors when there are six or fewer; otherwise list the first three followed by et al. The following examples show how to reference an article that is first published online as a JAMIA PrePrint. For the time the article is online as a PrePrint only: [Authors]. [Article title]. J Am Med Inform Assoc (e-pub ahead of print). Mar 1, 2002. DOI 10.1197/jamia.M####. Available at: http://www.jamia.org. The DOI (digital object identifier) is assigned to the PrePrint by the editorial office on acceptance of the manuscript. Once the article appears in its final version in print and online: [Authors]. [Article title]. J Am Med Inform Assoc. 2002;9(4):415&endash;22. DOI 10.1197/jamia.M####. Tables Tables should be double spaced and include a title. Illustrations Photographs, drawings, graphs, and charts may be computer-generated or scanned. Symbols, lettering, and numbering should be of such proportional size that when the figure is reduced each item will still be distinctly recognizable. If a figure consists of two or more parts, the individual parts should have similar dimensions. Art work submitted at a size suitable for publication +40% reproduces best. For good-quality print production, grayscale (halftone) and color images should be produced or scanned at 300+ dpi and line drawings at 600+ dpi. The journal prints images at 2,400 dpi, but this resolution does not help if the resolution of the original artwork is inadequate. The capture of a direct screen image (often at only 72 dpi) is problematic, particularly when gray tones are employed. Authors may be required to have low-resolution images recreated professionally at their expense after final acceptance of a manuscript. Authors may request print of color figures at their expense. Legends for illustrations should be double-spaced as section separate from the illustrations themselves, but with numbers corresponding to the figures. Data Supplements Data supplements allow authors to include a variety of content with their manuscripts. A supplement may be a text file, a PDF file, a spreadsheet, an HTML document, or a table, a video, or an audio file. The supplement may consist of one file or multiple files. For usability, the files should be small enough to be downloaded fairly quickly. They should be of common file types that most readers will be able to open and use, such as PDF, HTML, GIF, or JPEG files, QuickTime movies, or WAV sound files. A data supplement should be submitted to the JAMIA FTP site along with the manuscript, so that it can be considered during the normal review process. If accepted for publication, the data supplement will appear online only, not in the print version of the journal. Use of Abbreviations Consult Scientific Style and Format: The CBE Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers, by the Council of Biology Editors Style Committee (6th edition, New York: Cambridge University Press, 1994). The first time an uncommon abbreviation appears, it should be preceded by the full name or phrase for which it stands. Permissions Authors should indicate whether the work has been submitted to an Institutional Review Board and whether approval was obtained. If text, illustrations, or data supplements include information about individual patients, either the patients should not be identifiable or the material must be accompanied by written permission to use the identifiable material in print and online publication. Materials taken from other sources must be accompanied by a written statement from both the author and publisher giving permission to the publishers of JAMIA to reprint the material in print and online. If clearances are required by the author's institution, statements concerning such clearance should be provided in the manuscript. Obtain and submit written permission from authors to cite unpublished data or papers still in press. The corresponding author is responsible for obtaining a signed statement from each author indicating that the author takes responsibility for the content of the manuscript and that the material has not been published, simultaneously submitted, or already accepted for publication elsewhere. Back to top ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION OF MANUSCRIPTS Electronic submission is required. If the manuscript is accepted, two hard copies of figures may be requested to confirm the validity of the printouts. Back to top General Instructions The host name of the ftp site is "jamia.mc.vanderbilt.edu." The login name is jamia and the password is submit. The editorial office prefers to receive manuscripts in both Microsoft Word and PDF formats. Advanced word processing features, such as graphics and end notes, may cause problems and slow processing. Specific Instructions Instructions are in Times New Roman font. What you will see on the screen is in Courier font. What you should type is in Courier bold font. Your responses are case sensitive. If you are to replace the example text with something you choose, it is in Courier bold italic font. 1. Save your manuscript, along with any figures, as a Word document and as a PDF file. 2.

Send an e-mail message to: JAMIA@mcmail.vanderbilt.edu This message will act as your cover letter and will serve as a double check that we were able to read your manuscript. Also, remember to fax your signed Documentation of Originality for Submitted JAMIA Manuscript form to the JAMIA office at (615) 936-1427. As soon as we have printed out a copy of the manuscript, you will receive an e-mail message stating that your manuscript has been received for review and whether or not we have received your originality form (required to initiate review). Review and Action Manuscripts will be reviewed by the Editor and Associate Editors and sent to outside reviewers. Authors are encouraged to suggest individuals who would be particularly suited to review their work. They may also indicate individuals who they think should be excluded from the process. In either case, we reserve the right of final selection. Authors will be notified within two to four weeks if a manuscript is judged inappropriate for the Journal prior to outside review. Authors will usually be notified within eight weeks whether full review indicates acceptance, rejection, or a need for revision. Manuscripts and letters will be edited before publication. The corresponding author will receive copies of page proofs before publication. Authors are responsible for proofreading their articles Transfer of Copyright Authors will grant copyright of their articles to the American Medical Informatics Association, unless they are federal employees performing the work as governmental activity at the time the work is done, in which case there is no copyright. The American Medical Informatics Association will license back to the authors the right to use their articles for limited purposes as specified in the copyright release form Publication of Online PrePrints PrePrints will be posted on www.jamia.org during the month following manuscript acceptance and receipt of copyright release. The PrePrint will be a PDF of the article as submitted by the author (i.e., not edited), and pagination in the PDF will be in "page x of y" format, to clearly distinguish the PrePrint from the final form.
